I've been searching for a solution for this problem for over two days now and i can't find anything. The problem is that i have multiple hosts in my server.xml of my Tomcat 5.5 installation like:
When i install the hyperic-hq webapp in the webapp-directory of the 'localhost' and vist the: http://localhost/hyperic-hq/jmx-attributes?dmp=hyperic-hq:* I can only see the webapps in this directory that are mapped on localhost/webappA.. I can also see the webapps that are on the other hosts, but not the ROOT.war deployed webapps in those hosts. If i vist http://localhost/hyperic-hq/jmx-attributes?dmp=* i can cleary see my 'name: hosts=www.hostA.com' listed on this page.. Why don't the ROOT.war's have those 'hyperic-hq:Context' tags? Is there something that i must do extra?
If i add the hyperic-filters to the web.xml of the ROOT.war i get exceptions about duplicated servlet names, so the tomcat/conf/web.xml is included with the ROOT.wars. I als set the tomcat/web.xml to it's default values and explicitly added the filters to only one of the ROOT.war's but it still wasn't listed in the hyperic-hq webapp...
Is there anything i can do about this issue??? it's driving me nuts.
I had exactly the same problem with LambdeProbe (Tomcat monitor) but the author of that program admits that it doesn't have multiple hosts compatiblilitie. But since Hyperic does list the non-ROOT.war's in my other host directories i figured that there *is* hosts compatibility, but that only the ROOT.war's are ignored??
